池沸腾临界热流密度及临界波长的实验研究

分别在光滑及波形结构的铜表面上对水和乙醇进行饱和池沸腾实验,观测了临界热流密度(CHF)下临界波长的变化趋势,并分析了表面结构对沸腾传热系数及CHF的影响。实验验证了光滑表面上,临界波长随工质的不同而变化,继而影响CHF,其实验值与经典的临界波长及临界热流密度理论一致。而粗糙表面上的乙醇沸腾实验进一步发现,波形结构可以减小临界波长,从而有效提高CHF,其影响规律与相关文献的理论模型较为符合。     

泡沫金属圆管内沸腾传热的数值模拟

为了解泡沫金属沸腾传热原理,建立了泡沫金属圆管三维物理模型,采用BrinkmanForchheimer扩展达西动量方程和C语言编写气液两相质量传递和能量传递的自定义函数,对泡沫金属圆管中沸腾传热现象进行数值模拟,分析了质量流率、干度对流型、压降和沸腾传热系数的影响。模拟结果表明,在一定质量流率下,单位长度压降随着干度的增大成非线性增长趋势;低质量流率时,随着干度的增大,管内流型由分层流过渡到波状流进而过渡到稳定的波状流,传热系数变小;高质量流率时,随着干度的增大,管内流型由弹状流过渡到环状流,传热系数变大。

基于梯度孔隙率金属泡沫的复合相变单元储热性能数值模拟北大核心CSCD

向相变材料中添加金属泡沫可以解决相变材料低导热率引起的换热效果较差等问题,提高系统的整体蓄热效率。然而,复合相变材料的传热性能受金属泡沫孔隙率分布的影响较显著,为进一步提高相变储能单元的传热性能,本工作基于低孔隙率金属泡沫-相变材料(PCM)复合储能系统,建立了一种新的梯度孔隙率金属泡沫结构,通过数值模拟方法,对蓄热单元熔化过程中的熔化率、储能速率、储能总量进行分析,系统研究了孔隙率沿加热方向负梯度分布、正梯度分布对复合相变材料熔化速度和储热性能的影响。研究结果表明,负梯度孔隙率结构可以进一步提高储能系统的储热效率,其中,孔隙率梯度为0.12(案例S-6)时增强效果最显著。在熔化周期的不同阶段,负梯度孔隙率对复合材料的传热均有不同程度增强,对于S-6,在1000 s、2000 s、2600 s时,熔化率相较于均匀孔隙率结构分别增加了0.67%、2.31%、9.90%;随着孔隙率梯度的增加,相变材料的热性能提高越显著,与均匀孔隙结构相比,改进的负梯度孔隙率结构其完全熔化时间最高可缩短7.32%,储热速率可提高8.02%。对于正梯度孔隙率结构,其对熔化速度没有显著影响,但是储热总量可提高0.49%。

Effects of surface wettability on nucleate pool boiling heat transfer for surfactant solutions

Experiments for pool boiling of deionised water and acetone with different surfactant, 95% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Triton X-100 and octadecylamine, have been conducted under atmospheric pressure to investigate the effect of surface wettability. The boiling curves for different concentrations of surfactant solution on both smooth and roughened surfaces were obtained. The results show that the addition of surfactant can enhance the water boiling heat transfer, and the enhancement is more obvious for SDS solution; but has little influence on the acetone boiling curve. While the roughened surface enhanced the heat transfer for Triton X-100 solution, it also decreased the heat transfer coefficient for SDS solution. All these can be explained by including the changing of surface wettability, which has been neglected for a long time and should be an important parameter influencing boiling heat transfer. By incorporating such effects, the modified Mikic-Rohsenow pool boiling model, we proposed, can predict these experimental data well.     

Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer over a bundle of vertical tubes

An experimental investigation has been carried out to determine the heat transfer coefficient during pool boiling of water over a bundle of vertical stainless steel heated tubes of 19.0 mm diameter and 850 mm height. The p/D of bundle was 1.66 and was placed inside a glass tube of 100 mm diameter and 900 mm length. The data were acquired for the heat flux range of 2–32 kWm^− 2.     

Effect of nanoparticles on CHF enhancement in pool boiling of nano-fluids

To investigate the characteristics of CHF (Critical Heat Flux) enhancement using nano-fluids, pool boiling CHF experiments of two water-based nano-fluids with titania and alumina nanoparticles were performed using electrically heated metal wires under atmospheric pressure. The results showed that the water-based nano-fluids significantly enhanced CHF compared to that of pure water. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) observation subsequent to the pool boiling experiments revealed that a lot of nanoparticles were deposited on heating surface during pool boiling of nano-fluids. In order to investigate the role of the nanoparticle surface coating on CHF enhancement of nano-fluids, pool boiling CHF of pure water was measured using a nanoparticle-coated heater prepared by pool boiling of nano-fluids on a bare heater. It was found that pool boiling of pure water on the naonoparticle-coated heater sufficiently achieved the CHF enhancement of nano-fluids. It is supposed that CHF enhancement in pool boiling of nano-fluids is mainly caused by the nanoparticle coating of the heating surface.     

Studies on pool boiling heat transfer: Macrolayer thickness in transition boiling

Macrolayer thicknesses in transition boiling were determined from the energy balance relation q_tr = ρ_lH_fgδ_l·f , based on measurements of q_tr (the time-averaged heat flux in transition boiling) and f (the detachment frequency of vapor masses) for water and ethanol boiling on vertical and horizontal 15-mm-diameter surfaces under atmospheric pressure. The macrolayer thickness for the vertical surface, designed to prevent liquid contact with the periphery of the surface during the vapor mass hovering, agreed well with the correlation proposed previously by the present authors, when the heat flux at macrolayer formation is obtained from a nucleate boiling curve extrapolated to the superheat of transition boiling. The macrolayer on the horizontal surface was apparently thickened due to the inflow of bulk liquid beneath the growing vapor masses. © 1999 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Jpn Res, 27(8): 568–583, 1998     

形貌对通孔金属泡沫辐射性能的影响

本文借助PerkinElmer 光学测试系统实验研究了不同形貌通孔金属泡沫的漫反射率和漫透射率。实验结果表明,材质对金属泡沫的漫反射率有重要的影响。铜泡沫的漫反射率随着孔密度的增大而减小,而镍泡沫的漫反射率变化趋势则相反。无论是铜泡沫还是镍泡沫,吸收率皆随着孔密度的增大而增大,消光系数随着孔密度的增大而增大。对于烧结有铜板的铜泡沫,吸收率随着孔隙率的增大而增大。     

Investigations on heat transfer enhancement in pool boiling with water-CuO nano-fluids

The main focus of the present work is to investigate Critical Heat Flux (CHF) enhancement using CuO nanofluid relative to CHF of pure water. To estimate the effect of nanoparticles on the CHF, pool boiling CHF values were measured for various volume concentrations of CuO nanofluid and compared with pure water. CHF enhancement of 130% was recorded at 0.2 % by volume of CuO nano-fluids. Surface roughness of the heater surface exposed to three measured heating cycles indicated surface modifications at different volume concentrations of nanofluid. SEM image of the heater surface revealed porous layer build up, which is thought to be the reason for CHF enhancement.     

Visualization of pool boiling heat transfer of magnetic nanofluid

To increase heat transfer, ferrofluids have been utilized to study the effective parameters of pool boiling. Changes and possible enhancement of pool boiling heat transfer of magnetic fluids is a function of magnetic field and concentration of nanoparticles. To the best knowledge of the authors, no systematic experiments have been conducted to visualize the phenomena during the boiling of ferrofluids with different concentrations. In this study an experimental investigation has been conducted, by designing and fabricating a novel hele‐shaw vessel with glass sides, to explore via visualizations some details in the pool boiling of ferrofluids. Boiling patterns of ferrofluids at various concentrations have been visualized –both in the presence of a constant magnetic field and without any magnetic field. Pure water tests were performed as a baseline, and the experimental program has been conducted at four different concentrations, namely 30, 40, 50, and 500 ppm. The primary focus of the visualization is to study how different concentration of ferrofluid affects the boiling ebullition cycle through a high‐speed camera. The results showed that in the boiling process of ferrofluids with a low concentration (10 to 50 ppm), the rising bubbles lead to enlarge the active nucleation sites and create cavities. The formation of cavities changes the solid layer of the surface to a porous medium and enhances the wettability of the surface and boiling heat transfer coefficient. In the ferrofluid boiling with high concentration (500 ppm), bubbles rising is hindered by nanoparticles.     

Characteristics of heat transfer coefficients during nucleate pool boiling of binary mixtures

Experimental studies were made on heat transfer on a horizontal platinum wire during nucleate pool boiling in nonazeotropic refrigerant binary mixtures at pressures of 0.25 to 0.7 MPa and at heat fluxes up to CHF. The boiling features of the mixtures and the single-component substances were observed by photography. The relationship between the boiling behavior and the reduction of heat transfer coefficients in binary mixtures is discussed in order to propose a correlation useful for predicting the present experimental data over a wide range of low to high heat fluxes. It is shown that the correlation is applicable to alcoholic mixtures. The physical meaning of k, which was introduced to evaluate the effect of heat flux on the reduction of a heat transfer coefficient, is clarified based on measured nucleate pool boiling heat transfer data and visual observations of the boiling features. © 1998 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Jpn Res, 27(7): 535–549, 1998
